Hello guys,  
Yesterday, i succeeded to do configuration and run Filebeat. After that, i visited my Graylog website and try to add inputs (Beats) with port 5044. Until now, i don't receive any message. I read the article in Elastic official website and Filebeat can be mixed with GELF.  
And i tried to read GELF method how it send the logs

> $template GRAYLOGRFC5424,"%protocol-version% %timestamp:::date-rfc3339% %HOSTNAME% %app-name% %procid% %msg%\n"  
> _._ @gl2\_private\_IP:514;GRAYLOGRFC5424

Could you guide me to setting GELF method in Filebeat ? I don't find GELF in filebeat.yml  
Thank you guys

I read here [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/configuring-output.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/configuring-output.html)  
After i made the output into Elasticsearch server, how do i set the Graylog to read the log sent by Filebeat to elasticsearch ?

Can you share the link where you saw GELF + Filebeat on our website?

I don't really know much about Graylog, I would recommend you to ask this question in a Graylog forum.
